It examines the representation of three Australian productions: East West 101, The Combination and Cedar Boys. Since 2007 Australia has seen a notable increase in the inclusion of Arab and Muslim male characters in various serials and films, but what do these inclusions mean for the place of Arab and Muslim men in Australia today?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to understand how these representations are constructed and whether they are as progressive and edgy as producers and media responses would suggest. This book explores the extent to which cultural productions such as East West 101, The Combination and Cedar Boys open up a space for new understandings of the place of Arab and Muslim Australians in contemporary Australia. Importantly it considers the role of the Special Broadcasting Service in the plight of anti-racism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mehal Kreyam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0522872182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780522872187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Melbourne University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.23h x 5.35w x 0.55d","brand":"Mehal Kreyam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437905129727,"sku":"9780522872187","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0dba5175-9b8a-43a6-8568-c5dacb0b8f64.jpg?v=1777167572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iss-23-heroes-villains-and-mehal-kreyam-9780522872187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
